Clients with repeating repair bills
Multiple invoices for the same issue, such as transmission slipping, electrical glitches, brake failure, or engine lights, can be the start of a lemon law review.
The lemon law conversation your clients aren't having.
A defective vehicle reads to your client as bad luck, not a legal claim, so it never comes up. You are the one person who sees the auto loan, the repair receipts, and the rideshare charges in the same sitting. Conecta users can introduce those clients to Romero Kucerkova Law for federal lemon law review while the office stays focused on tax, accounting, and the client relationship.

Lemon law support for clients your office already serves
Tax and financial professionals see detailed records every year: auto loan payments, lease expenses, business vehicle deductions, and major repair receipts. Many clients are paying thousands of dollars annually for vehicles that are unreliable, constantly in the shop, or defective. Romero Kucerkova Law gives your office a professional next step without your office giving legal advice.
Clients paying for rentals or Uber
Temporary transportation costs while a primary vehicle sat at the dealership often show up next to the auto loan during tax prep.
Clients frustrated with a newer car
Owners or lessees of a vehicle purchased or leased in recent years who have spent weeks at the dealership for warranty work.
Clients who think the car is too old
Age alone does not close the door. What matters is when the trouble started, not how old the vehicle is today.
Business-use vehicle clients
Purchased or leased new or used vehicles, including business-use vehicles under certain weight thresholds, may qualify for review.
Clients who never mention a legal claim
A defective vehicle usually never comes up as a legal issue. The records in your file are often the first place the pattern is visible.
About Romero Kucerkova Law
Romero Kucerkova Law is a professional corporation handling personal injury, federal lemon law, and workers' compensation matters. Their lemon law work is built around peace of mind for the client and pressure on the manufacturer.
Under federal lemon law, consumers may be entitled to a refund or buyback from the manufacturer when a substantial defect was not repaired after a reasonable number of attempts while the vehicle was under warranty. Case acceptance, legal options, and outcomes depend on the facts of each case.
Legal services, case review, representation, fees, claims, negotiations, and attorney-client relationship decisions are handled by Romero Kucerkova Law Corp, APC. Conecta is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. No compensation is paid or accepted for client referrals.
What winning looks like
A lemon law buyback happens when an auto manufacturer repurchases a defective vehicle because they failed to repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts while under warranty.
Your office stays the relationship source. Romero Kucerkova Law handles the legal review. Outcomes depend on the facts of each case.
The car goes back, and the money comes home.
The manufacturer takes the vehicle back and returns essentially everything the client put into it: down payment, trade-in credit, every monthly payment, taxes and registration, towing, and rentals. If they still owe the bank, the manufacturer pays off the loan directly. The client walks away clean instead of upside down.
They keep the car, and they keep a check too.
When the defect is real but the client actually likes the vehicle, the manufacturer pays a negotiated lump sum for the diminished value and the aggravation. That is a negotiated settlement, not a statutory right, and it is often the better outcome for a client who would struggle to requalify for financing.
The manufacturer pays for this work
- The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act shifts attorney fees to the manufacturer when the consumer prevails. Congress designed these claims to be worth bringing.
- The client does not pay a retainer to open a file or review the repair history.
- The client is never invoiced for the firm's time while the case is worked.
- When the firm recovers, the manufacturer pays fees on top of the client's recovery. Exact terms are always set out in the client's own signed fee agreement.
How the introduction works
- Step 1: During tax prep or a financial review, notice repeating repairs, rental or Uber costs, an auto loan next to shop time, or frustration with a defective vehicle.
- Step 2: Get the client's okay, or hand them Jess Corrick's details and let them make the call.
- Step 3: Send a name, an email, and a phone number to Jess Corrick at jess@holaconecta.com.
- Step 4: Romero Kucerkova Law reviews the repair history, warranty timing, and whether a buyback or cash-and-keep path may be available.
- Step 5: Your office stays the trusted relationship source. The firm handles the legal conversation.
What makes a vehicle a lemon
The initial repairs need to have occurred while the vehicle was under factory warranty, express or implied. Fewer repair attempts can be enough when the defect is safety-related.
The same defect goes back to an authorized dealer four or more times and still isn't fixed. The advisor guide also flags cases with usually 2 to 4 attempts for the same issue.
Count every day the vehicle sat at the dealership for warranty work across the whole ownership, not only consecutive days.
People assume that because their vehicle is six years old they have no recourse. Age alone does not close the door. If the defect appeared and went back to the dealer while the factory warranty was still in force, that repair history is the case. The claim can survive long after the warranty itself has expired.
- Warranty status The initial repairs occurred while the vehicle was under factory warranty (express or implied).
- Multiple repair attempts Usually 2 to 4 attempts for the same issue, or the vehicle was out of service for 30 or more cumulative days total. The brochure uses 4 or more repair attempts, with fewer attempts enough when the defect is safety-related.
- Vehicle types Includes purchased or leased new and used vehicles, as well as business-use vehicles under certain weight thresholds.
- What the client may recover in a buyback Down payment, monthly finance or lease payments, paid interest, remaining loan or lease payoff, towing fees, rental car costs, and repair bills, subject to the facts of the case and a signed fee agreement.
How to spot this during tax prep
These are practical moments when a client conversation or a stack of records can turn into a Romero Kucerkova Law introduction without your office giving legal advice.
-
High repair deductions or expenses
Multiple invoices for the same recurring issue, such as a transmission slipping, electrical glitches, brake failure, or engine lights.
-
Excessive rental or Uber costs
Client expenses for temporary transportation while their primary vehicle was stuck in the shop.
-
A newer car that spent weeks at the dealer
Clients mentioning frustration with a vehicle purchased or leased in the last few years that keeps going back for warranty work.
-
Auto loan, repairs, and rideshare in the same sitting
You are often the only person who sees those three things together. That is the lemon law conversation the client is not having.
-
Business vehicle deductions
Lease expenses, auto loan payments, and major repair receipts on a business-use vehicle can be worth a lemon law review.
-
Client says the car is too old to do anything
If the trouble started while the factory warranty was still in force, the repair history can still be the case.
-
Client is upside down on the loan
In a buyback, the manufacturer may pay off the loan directly so the client is not left owing the bank on a defective car.
